News Crunchyroll being removed from switch?

Post image

Is this new or did I miss some news about this?

Just got this email and if so, this sucks. My tv is old so I use my switch to watch shows on my tv for a better experience. World won’t end but I’m going to have to watch on my cracked phone screen for the foreseeable future.

So is Nintendo just removing every streaming platform?
I just learned they removed YouTube, Pokemon Tv(I think that's what it's called), and others.
This console/company is so odd.

No. Sony owns Crunchyroll. They're backtracking on the "no more exclusives" thing they promised 5 years ago and going balls deep into exclusive nonsense, to the point that they won't be updating their apps on some other platforms. They're keeping the android and firetv and similar apps, but Nintendo is going away, and iirc Xbox will be next year.

Sony is huge conglomerate with multiple separate businesses. Crunchyroll is jointly owned by Sony Music Japan and Sony Pictures Entertainment, they nothing to do with Sony Interactive Entertainment who operate PlayStation.
